Watch: Cooking Farm Produce with Susie Middleton

Fellow Island farmer and accomplished cookbook author Susie Middleton, a.k.a. Six Burner Sue stars in this healthy cooking video from OxfamAmerica’s Eat for Good campaign. Part of it was filmed right here at the farmstand, and the rest a couple of miles away in a friend’s kitchen.

Susie’s article is focused on how she saves money in the kitchen by planning ahead and developing recipe “templates” that she can customize depending on what ingredients she has on hand, instead of running out for a dozen different grocery items to fulfill one specific recipe.

The Eat for Good campaign is aimed at helping families eat well with less expense and waste. That’s something we’re always trying to do at Morning Glory. Our farm kitchen makes use of what’s abundant, which is why you’ll see so many different soups, dips, salad dressings and carry-out main courses throughout the growing season. And we keep a tight leash on waste, composting, recycling and feeding the pigs and chickens.
